A little problem!
« on: Thursday 04 November 04 21:56 GMT (UK) »
Looking at the IGI I have found a possible match for a brother of my 2 x gt grandmother.  However it is doing my head in! 

Thomas Bridge BIRTH 20 Sept 1811 Bolton Le Moors
Parents William & Betty

Thomas Bridge BIRTH 21 Sept 1811 Prot Diss Ch Bolton Le Moors   Parents William & Betty

Thomas Bridge BIRTH 25 Sept 1811 Dukes Alley Indpendent Bolton Le Moors   Parents William & Betty

Thomas Bridge CHRISTENING 18 Nov 1811 Dukes Alley Independent Bolton Le Moors   Parents William & Betty.

Now - allowing for the fact that the members of the LDS do have the habit of attaching incorrect information to their trees on a regular basis AND
it could all just be coincidence that these are 2 totally separate sets of parents baptising a son called Thomas at virtually the same time -
has anyone any other thoughts on a possible scenario please?

Hi Eileen,

Did you check the Death and Burials to see if there were any around September/November 1811 ?

This may way up if it was more than one Thomas BIRTH.

Regards

Sarah :)

Thanks Sarah - I was beginning to feel a bit lonely on this one!
I checked the IGI for deaths/burials in the hope there might be one but no luck.  I will have to ask a friend to check the NBI and keep my fingers crossed.
Cheers
